One of the better sites on cuneiform that I have seen.Home page (DUB.E = tuppi bitim, 'home clay tablet') on Akkadian, an introduction collected by John Heise. Akkadian is a great cultural language of world history. These pages are about the cuneiform writing system on clay tablets, the language, the grammar. Some texts examples with transliteration and explanation are presented.

I might add that redfox's Web site contains a fair amount of other interesting material, including print and online resources for aspiring authors, and info on her own work. I hope to further explore some of these links in the future.RedFox wrote:Here are some useful word-lists for conlangers and natlangers, that I archived on my website some time ago:
